Full Description

The base of the trench had a very dark brown to black peaty sand which may possibly be part of a larger town ditch, which was presumed to go through the site prior to excavation. The depth of the feature could not be determined, although a natural origin appears to be unlikely for this feature. It can be inferred that this wet deposit constitutes the upper fill of the ditch. Later post medieval brick and tile was also recovered (S1).
